1-Wall

1-Wall wallball is a tremendous sport which is easy to set up and incredibly good fun to play.

A 1-Wall court can be marked out on any flat wall, as per the diagram below. However, if you don’t have space for a regulation court, the size of the court can be adjusted to suit your needs – we recommend you contact us for advice. Much like in tennis, the ball’s first bounce must land within the court area. It is then hit returned by the opposition against there wall. There is no line that the ball must be played above, it must simply hit the wall and then land in the court. Both the doubles and singles games are equally popular, with doubles requiring increased reaction speed and singles demanding more fitness.

1-wall is an incredibly accessible and inclusive sport and can be played anywhere, anytime… all you need is a wall and a ball.

As there is no line to hit the ball above, the aim is to hit the nick where the wall meets the floor. This will cause the ball to roll and is the ultimate “kill shot”. It is not easy. More advanced players will volley and put spin on the ball, whilst moving their opponent around court to take control of each point.

ARealistic ExampleIn the last 20 years New York has seen the sport explode and there are now over 2,500 courts all across the city. It was introduced to get kids active and reduce gang culture. It has worked. On fact-finding missions to New York we have been pleased to see both children and adults from completely different cultures and backgrounds playing all day together. The courts are virtually in constant use.
